How the MSM responds like Emily Litella

[healthmyths]

So the latest Twitter blow out occurred recently when this occurred.

HATE HOAX: Baseball fan mobbed after getting falsely accused of yelling racial slur at game​

A Baseball fan was wrongly accused of yelling a racial slur at a player during Sunday's game between the Colorado Rockies and the Miami Marlins.

HATE HOAX: Baseball fan mobbed after getting falsely accused of yelling racial slur at game

He wasn’t saying the N-word; he was saying the name of the Rockies’ mascot, Dinger.

Reminds me of SNL Gilda Radner's character "Emily Litella" and her famous...

What is all this fuss I hear about the Supreme Court decision on a "deaf" penalty? It's terrible! Deaf people have enough problems as it is![4]

The news anchor would interrupt Litella to point out her error, along the lines, "That's death penalty, Ms. Litella, not deaf ... death."[4] Litella would wrinkle her nose, say something like, "Oh, that's very different," then meekly turn to the camera and say, smiling, "Never mind!"
So baseball writers, CNN,ESPN all got shook up because they though the fan was using the N****r word.
Never Mind!!! Once again, Twitter, Social media, MSM all so quick to jump to conclusions... COVID included!
